The Sports Xchange By Jack Etkin, The Sports Xchange Rockies' Chacin toys with no-hitter, beats Giants DENVER -- Pitchers Jhouys Chacin of the Colorado Rockies and Madison Bumgarner of the San Francisco Giants continued on their distinctly different paths Wednesday night. Chacin flirted with a no-hitter and again won, while Bumgarner's hard-luck saga dragged on as the Rockies beat the Giants 5-4 in the rubber game of their series. Chacin held the Giants hitless for 6 2/3 innings -- the longest a Rockies pitcher has carried a potential no-hitter into a game at Coors Field.

Shortly after being promoted to the Cubs, infielder Donnie Murphy joked that he made a name for Troy Tulowitzki. But in a span of 21/2 weeks, Murphy is making a name for himself with six home runs since Aug. 6 entering Tuesday night, including three homers to the opposite field. "A lot of people are surprised by it because of my size (listed at 190 pounds), but I'll take them any way I can," Murphy said. What's even more surprising is that Murphy, 30, has been connected to the careers of 2004 American League rookie of the year Bobby Crosby and All-Star shortstop Tulowitzki.

Brewers 7, Rockies 5 DENVER _ The Colorado Rockies were unable to overcome a poor start Saturday night by Collin McHugh, who was hit hard at the outset of his debut with the team and bid to fill the void at the end of their rotation. The Milwaukee Brewers scored six runs off McHugh in three innings and held on to beat the Rockies 7-5. It was just the second win in six games for the Brewers since the suspension of Ryan Braun.

The Sports Xchange By Jack Etkin, The Sports Xchange Rockies 6, Brewers 5 DENVER -- The calendar says it is late July, so there are plenty of games remaining. But there was a definite sense of urgency Sunday for the Colorado Rockies. They needed a win to finish 5-5 on a disappointing 10-game homestand to start the second half and got it when Nolan Arenado gave the Rockies a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers with a single in the eighth. In the top of that inning, Matt Belisle gave up a two-run homer to Yuniesky Betancourt that put the Brewers ahead 5-4. Jon Axford took the mound in the eighth for the Brewers, and Troy Tulowitzki, who had hit the first of four solo homers by the Rockies, led off the eighth with a double down the left-field line off. Tulowitzki had homered off Axford on Saturday night Michael Cuddyer, who had homered in the sixth, followed with a double down the right-field line that tied the game at 5, and after Todd Helton flied out, Arenado lined a single to center, driving in Cuddyer.
